Nights On Broadway (live '76)
Mr Natural If it weren't for this album (precursor to Main Course), we might not have had Nights, Jive, SNF material. This is one of their most underrated songs.
Wind of Change
On Time Maurice called this their 'swamp funk' song. Nice dual lead guitar solo

And I think this is the hardest Bee Gees song I've heard with a touch of funk Heavy Breathing

Lots of good songs mentioned. It's not their best but I liked one of their very last hit singles. So overlooked a song that I'd forgotten about it until I heard it on XM the other day. Really catchy song.....

How Deep is Your Love


The Bee Gees are hated because they were too successful in a genre that people fell out of love with. But they have a long catalog of hits over a 20 year period of time. Even after they were trapped with the disco stigma, they wrote and produced songs for other artists that became some of those artists biggest hits.

There is no denying their musical talent.

They wrote Islands In the Stream. That alone puts them in the upper echelon of music.

It's a shame that history will remember Barry for the falsetto of the disco days.

Always funny to me that two Gibbs are two of the handsomest MFers ever, and the other two are two of the squirreliest-looking MFers ever.

I was, and I made the original comment about their disco era songs. I stand by it.

I hated it, but now I'm nostalgic about the music. It's just that back in the day listening to the Bee Gees, et al, was not compatible with listen to Led Zeppelin, et al. I chose the latter.

I will vote for "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "How deep is Your Love" and "Night Fever". I sat at a table next to Andy Gibb for several hours at Baby O's nightclub in Acapulco in the summer of 1984. He was a very nice guy. Sylvester Stallone was a few tables away. Needless to say it was quite a party in there that night.

I completely understand that a lot of people like to suck off their early stuff. However, they released some GREAT songs during the disco era. I think that this period of their work is sometimes discounted because of the musical environment in which it was created.

Hopefully you don't think "How can you mend a broken heart", also one of my favorites, is from their Disco era. It was their first U.S. number one hit, and was released in 1971, people were still talking about Woodstock, the word "disco" was not yet part of the vocabulary. The BeeGees first entered the Disco/dance genre with the album Main Course in 1975
